In a 2nd, separate system I put together last winter, I picked up a Pro-Ject Carbon Debut DC tt. I upgraded it with the better platter, a Clamp-it and tossed the Ortofon 2M Red out and got a 2M Bronze instead. Yep! a $450.00 cartridge, on a $400.00 table. Hehehe..!!
For a phono stage, I got the Pro-Ject Tube Box DS2 ($700.00). This system uses my spare 20 yr old Aragon 18K MkII preamp and then I built a Bottlehead Stereomour II 2A3 SET amplifier.
Lastly, I built a pair of high efficiency speakers, using a pair of excellent speaker cabinets I had. Did the Thiel-Small calcs, got the ports correct and using superb point source drivers in each cabinet. Bought a pair of 10" subs and cross them over at 75Hz.
This little flea powered system is a ton of fun! It sounds reasonably good for what it is. I even brought the Carbon Debut up to the main system and listened to it with much higher end gear and it did ok. It does not have near the detail, musicality or bottom end as my high end analog stuff but it did ok. The high end system has a relaxed, effortless liquidity that is hard to describe.
Anyway, a long way of saying again, that there is a really high point of diminishing return in analog playback.
